Actress

[edit]

Khan made her acting debut in 1995 on the show Pal Do Pal.[1][7] She appeared in Bandhan (1996),[1][8] for which she won the PTV Best Actress Award. In the same year, she played a leading role in the drama serial Bharam. She later started anchoring morning shows.[9]

The show began airing in 2003 from Dubai. In November 2006, Khan moved to Geo TV to a new live chat and interview show called the Nadia Khan Show (Geo Mazay Say). She interviewed a variety of Pakistani celebrities, artists, performers, religious leaders, athletes and politicians. There were also segments on Islam, and health and beauty. The show was banned in 2010 by the Dubai government. Sources say that Khan showed actress Noor Bukhari and her husband fight before Bukhari's interview. Her husband claimed in court that "our family matter", so the court banned Khan's show in Dubai for six months.

Khan won the Masala Lifestyle Awards For Best TV Presenter 2008 and Masala Lifestyle Awards For Best TV Presenter 2009, out of five candidates, from Zee Tv, Sony TV, Star Plus and ARY Digital.[10]

In January 2018, Khan became the first Pakistani beauty, fashion and lifestyle YouTube influencer to reach 100,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel, Outstyle.[13][14]

In 2019, she started a morning show again on PTV named Morning @ home.[15]
